Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Mary Kay Mutters-Edelman, Benton, Arkansas, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Terry Abernathy, Selmer, Tennessee, for the appellees, Timothy E. Baker, Peggy Jo Berryman, and Kathy Ann Berryman.

Judge(s): BENNETT

The petitioner claims an interest in the estate of the second wife of her uncle, who was originally married to the petitioner’s aunt. Because the property at issue was held by the petitioner’s aunt and uncle as a tenancy by the entireties, the uncle owned the property in fee simple upon the aunt’s death. We conclude that the petitioner’s claim is without merit, and we affirm the decision of the trial court.
